RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2015 Whilst sorting my old railway documents I discovered that I was in possession of a train register book for Penistone Goods box from May 1971, this box was between Huddersfield Junction and Thurlestone Here's a sample page - notice the passenger trains - bell code 4 in the left hand column Is this of interest to anyone if I were to photograph more pages and publish them here ? (not sure how quickly but I can slowly work through some more) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sadly it would have just been the Huddersfield passengers by that date but I thought 4 was for an express? A few light engines in there as expected but a couple of 2-2 for bankers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2-2s are all for engines coupled to light engines (ABR 3 & ABR 10 refer) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thank you Mike, makes perfect sense (now I've read the times attributed to each) for the number of paired light engines that ran through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You're absolutely correct; I've just checked the box diagram - http://www.s-r-s.org.uk/html/lner/E175.gif A bit of a mystery as to what the 4s could be then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 ....they could have been diverted trains e.g. in 1973 due to severe flooding on the Hope valley route various class 1's were diverted via Woodhead. Reading the 1972/73 Section M WTT for the Hope valley route 1E44 was the 16.35 Man Picc to Sheffield DMU, 1E53 was the 17.25 Man Picc to Sheffield DMU, 1E59 was the 18.35 Manchester Picc to Sheffield DMU, 1E64 was the 19.50 Man. Picc to Sheffield DMU..... these headcodes match the sequence in the right hand column of the register page above and suggest diverted Hope Valley trains. I'd plump for single line working on the Hope valley due to accident, failure or other exceptional incident causing diversions via Woodhead.

I had similar thoughts and checked the date in case of weekend engineering; it was a Tuesday. A good little puzzle for a simple page; do you have any pages for dates either side of the one shown DAS?

I'll try and do a sample of a week so the traffic can be compared, give me a few days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Culmhead Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2015 I remember many years ago, when I lived in Stocksbridge, being asked directions by a very embarrassed American lady to P***s- tone! I had to chuckle and so did SWMBO, I believe the correct pronunciation is Pen-is-ton! Back to topic, I do recall in the early to mid seventies frequent diversions via the Woodhead from the Hope Valley Line. Cheers, Aidan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Guide Bridge to Godley would be my idea layout but would require some serious space. One day I may get Godley Junction finished.
